Many women experience stress and anxiety symptoms throughout their lives. Stress and anxiety can be normal in certain stressful situations. However, if you notice feelings of stress and anxiety becoming excessive, interfering with daily life, and affecting your meaningful relationships, it may be a good time to speak to a licensed therapist. Some symptoms of anxiety include intense, excessive, and persistent worry, fear, irritability, trouble concentrating and sleep difficulty. You may also notice feelings in your body including, but not limited to fast heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating, being easily startled and a nervous feeling in your stomach.

Working with a therapist can provide a safe space for you to talk about your thoughts, feelings, experiences and challenges. Psychoeducation provided by a licensed therapist can be a great way to gain an understanding of the different types of anxiety, anxiety symptoms, and anxiety treatment options. A therapist can assist you with identifying triggers, understanding your body’s response to triggers, and developing a treatment plan that can help you manage your nervous system and get back to enjoying life and your relationships!
